Watching South Dakota State to see how TJ is doing and they can score. Won 7 of the last 10 going into their tournament

My Wichita State pick needs to get bolded. Thanks. Might be the last one I get right.
Thanks, sorry I missed it, I'll update right now.
Anyone else who notice bolding-omissions, alert me. Thanks.
Soooooooo...
By my reckoning, I have more dead teams than anyone else right now, and one lousy win.
I really do suck at this!

... It's interesting (to me, at least) how some of the smaller conferences organize their brackets. Some give byes to top 2 teams until semifinals, for example. Northeast re-seeds it each round, so highest seed faces lowest remaining seed (hence, how 1-MSM can meet 4-SFPa in final).
Be patient! You still have a combination of choices alive that could keep you in the mix (getting the Minnesota-Iowa State combo would be a leg up against most of us, for example).
Re-posting for reference, in case people missed last night.

From this point, I'm going to post updates of tournament champs and upcoming schedules at the end of the thread, instead of near the top of the tread. Probably more visible and navigable to be in most-recent posts area. Update of contestant results will remain in first two slots.
I'll post results as of 3/6 soon. Awaiting final of SMC/BYU, mainly as a technicality, since, as I type, it's 57-26.

SMC-BYU is close enough to official. Here's the update thru 3-6.

Wins tonight by Mt. Saint Mary's and Omaha would give ISU a small resume boost. 2 more wins against the tournament field.
Personally, I'd rather see TJ win

Quite boggling how that conference tournament blew up. I think Milwaukee's RPI is something like 265. Among teams expected to get automatic bids, I think only N.C. Central is sub-200.
Mid-evening update:
Horizon: North Kentucky (in first year of tournament eligibility)
Northeast: Mount St. Mary's
